Tata Motors is planning to launch the much talked about Nano the cheapest car in the world in Nepal. Sipradi Trading, the authorized distributor of Tata motors in Nepal is bringing five Nano cars to Nepal in March.
Since Tata Motors sell vehicles only after testing it locally, Sipradi will accept bookings of Nano only after studying feedbacks from persons who test drive the car for six months. Tata will offer test drives of Nano to interested persons from mid-March. According to sources at Sipradi, the car will be easily available to customers from early 2011. Tata is also planning to launch Nano in Bhutan.
Tata is getting a huge demand for Nano but is facing difficulties in supplying the car to eager customers due to production constraints. Tata hopes the situation to ease significantly after its starts production of Nano from its new factory in Gujarat from March. Production from the new plant would help Tata cope with the huge demand for the car. At present Tata Motors is selling Nano through lucky draw due to low production.
The compact car has won the best car of the year 2009. Tata Motors also exhibited Nano in US two weeks ago.
The 624 cc Nano gives a mileage of 23.6 km per liter. Nano grabbed headlines across the world due to its cheap price. The starting model of Nano costs IRs 100,000 in India. Though the price of Nano has to be fixed in Nepal, sources at Sipradi said the price could be near to Rs 700,000 due to high customs duty.

Vehicles imported in Nepal attracts 210% Customs Tax at entry point.
that oughtragious !!!!!!!!!!!1
210% costom tax is too much..goverment has to think about neaplies people. befor they put that kind of tax to any vihical.it’s only from near country india..
well suraj. affordable cars means more cars, which means more traffic jam.you wont have roads to drive.Do you want a car to decorate your home? hopefully not.
We have public transportation. lets use it. Public transportation saves both environment and money.
today i want to ask to the nepali government why the government want high custom????
if im a government i will charged low custom coz i can make more money in road tax.if its too high customs very less people can effort the car,if you make low custom i hope most of the people can effort it,if people buy more car that means gov can get more money in road tax.
that is my view being a neplese citizen.
what gov think??????
Very well said Pthapa. I am impressed with your logic. I too believe the same that the customs on vehicles should be less in Nepal because people like us can’t even think of buying a car. Yes, the road taxes should be imposed higher, if necessary. The Government can set meetings at sagarmatha, officials can go to Copenhagen. Was that really necessary? The govt. is too cold to uplift the living standards of people. Everyone is busy thinking about sucking people’s blood in there.
yup man I do agree on u. Go on quantity……… There is one saying on Nepali …….”tatai kham jali marum”……..Nepalese Government seems like dat………
Great post!
